Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Forty-four love sonnets by Victorian era British poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning.Written in 1845–46 after she met fellow poet Robert Browning and before they married, the sonnets remain among the most popular love poetry of all time. The collection was published in 1850 as being translated "from the Portuguese" in order to provide some measure of privacy for the Brownings.The most famous sonnet is undoubtedly number 43 (especially its first line):Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The complete work is now in the public domain, and can be found on Project Gutenberg.

Plausible Deniability: Claiming that the poems were translated from Portuguese. There is also a stealth reference in there. As "My Little Portuguese" was a pet name Robert gave to Elizabeth.
